Triangle of Sadness, The Menu

Highly recommend both of them

TV: The White Lotus

GraniteM, in Does anyone else remember this movie or am I going crazy?

It looks like a fake DVD cover someone photoshopped together as a gag gift, like you open it up and the case is filled with edibles or something.

If it’s real, then you’ve got to give us a better picture of the text so we can look up some of the names.

I think it aged well, I watched it a few years after seeing his world in Kingdom Hearts and was really impressed with what they did.

orbitz,

I’m biased since I grew up with the movie and always loved computers, but I watched it with my gf a few years back (okay like 7 years ago, at my age a few years isn’t a big difference) and thought it held up for what it was. It’s almost like an early cyberpunk jacked in experience but even without that thinking, being sucked into a computer sounded awesome and I definitely dug the fx in the 80s which I’ve seen a few shows about how it was revolutionary for the time.

Also think the cast was solid, Jeff Bridges needs no other comment, but I keep forgetting the rest of the names, Tron was the second commander in Babylon 5 show, the old scientist character was the grandpa in Lost Boys. Okay I cheated and checked imdb but too lazy to copy names, the dude who played Londo from B5 is there plus David Warner who is the bad guy in many things from the 80s.

It’s a slower paced movie but well worth the watch, and one line I always remember from it 'now that is a big door’s.

Also if you program the general premise is about code being stolen and him hitting them back, kinda cyberpunkish too.

General_Shenanigans, in Does anyone else remember this movie or am I going crazy?

Oh yeah! I definitely remember the car from that movie. Weird vehicle, that one.

violentshit, in It hurts my soul how underappreciated Fincher's Girl With A Dragon Tattoo is.

Yet to watch it. I have watched fight club ,Se7en and zodiac. Loved zodiac a lot.

gooble,

check out The Game next

ordellrb, in It hurts my soul how underappreciated Fincher's Girl With A Dragon Tattoo is.

Have you Seen the TV-Movies from 2009? They are also good.

Oh yes. They are very good and probably why the big budget Hollywood version flopped.

I remember it feeling pretty pointless.

It’s an extremely similar movie to the Swedish version, which only came out two years prior, down to using some of the same locations to shoot. I preferred the Swedish cast and found Craig a particularly poor fit in the American version. No question that Fincher’s is more impressive stylistically, but it also made it feel a lot more artificial in a way that I don’t think was a benefit to the plot.

Bear in mind I saw both when they came out so my memory is fuzzy. Also the screen was fuzzy, because I was watching the Swedish version on a laptop with one of the janky, standard definition rips we used to trade in school due to the fact all of our internet connections were slow and heavily metered.

I rewatched it last night and made it a point to judge it on its own merits rather than compare it to the Swedish films (which I did the first time) and found a new appreciation for it. It is a bit of a puzzle why the studio decided to remake a series of excellent movies so soon after their original run, but I don’t think that should take away from the job Fincher and the cast did.

I do agree that Craig was miscast, but he wasn’t bad. Unfortunately for Craig, everyone else outshines him.

OpenHammer6677, in ORIGIN - Official Trailer

DANG that soundtrack!

Off to find some way to watch.

miseducator,

Let us know if you find a way. I’m curious about this shit show, but not curious enough to go looking for it.

Disney can’t resist, can they? Please, don’t fuck it up.

2 was barely there for me. i just dont have a lot of hope.

i feel like this one will likely be even more removed from the source material that made that original great.

Reverendender,

I literally remember nothing about 2 except disappointment

Quicky, (edited )

I’m in the opposite camp, I loved Tron Legacy. Visually it’s superb, and when considered as a glorified Daft Punk music video like Insterstella 5555, it’s awesome.

fogstormberry,

daft punk took it from a mediocre enjoyable film to one of my favorites. I’m interested in tr3n but it needs something extra to make it stand out

originalucifer,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

i can appreciate this point of view. it was beautiful.

i think part of why i like the original is that it was far less polished, which is an artifact in my own brain. i was raised on original doctor who.

i was also disappointed in the arc of killing off the one guy i wanted to watch the movie for, in a place where death is beyond ambiguous...

model_tar_gz,

Flynn and Clu have off and on-grid backups, fortunately, in the MarySue archive drive.

UKFilmNerd,

I did read that one of the reasons they gave Tron: Legacy the green light was because they had no big sci-fi franchise of their own. Once they bought Lucasfilm, their problems were solved and that’s why the plans for a third Tron film fell apart years ago.

I have high hopes for this film because I love the franchise.

I sure loved TR2N and TR1N.

I can’t wait until we get Tron 4: Part 1 and Tron 4: Part 2, collectively known as the TR4NS movies

spoilerI know at least one person who realised she was trans when she wanted to be Olivia Wilde in Tron 2 more than she wanted to sleep with her.

ReluctantMuskrat,

I’m excited to see this only for the DeSantis melt-down.

@TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml avatar

I see they’re following the same trend as Fant4stic, M3GAN, and Expend4bles.

ApollosArrow,

At least those replaced similar letters.

ech, (edited )

More like Se7en, ie it makes no fucking sense.

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah, Se7en was the first one I remembered. It’s a silly marketing thing that often makes no sense.

The first teaser trailer for Tron: Legacy was revealed at the San Diego Comic Con in 2008. At the end, the title was revealed (excuse the quality, this version of the trailer was never officially released) to be TR2N.

It later transpired that this teaser was a proof of concept test, as Disney had not yet given the project a green light. The trailer was released a year later at the Con and online, but the title had been changed to Tron: Legacy.
